*Story contains significant religious theme*

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.- Matthew 16:19

“In the temples, members of the Church who make themselves eligible can participate in the most exalted of the redeeming ordinances that have been revealed to mankind.” by Boyd K. Packer, Ensign, February 1995

There were so many things happening during this tumultuous time of our history, but one thing I've never written about is the Mormons. Founded in the 1800's they were persecuted and fled from state to state to find religious freedom, basically what our country was founded upon. It's interesting how quickly groups like the Mormons, the Peacemakers, the Pilgrims of their days were outcast. While I tried to keep this story with regards to specific doctrine as general as possible, this story does contain a significant religious theme.
